Kristina believes that the hack works so well because the child ultimately feels seen and validated. “Like you’re listening to them and getting excited with them. I’m not promising Emmie all of these toys, nor does she get them all. It’s just hope and joy. It’s the modern-day version of circling all the toys in the JC Penney catalog. We never thought we’d get it all, but it’s fun to dream and feel like your parents are looking.”
“A lot of people have been criticizing me for not just ‘saying no,'” she added. “Believe me, my children hear ‘NO’. A lot. This post was just something fun and quick I threw up on Facebook one night. I’m not trying to be a parenting guru, I’m by no means the perfect parent. I’m just another mom, running all the Christmas errands, trying to make shopping a little easier and a little more fun. I’m just trying to do my best and raise decent humans. This hack is just another way to prevent some tears and get through. Plus, how cute is Emmie in all these pictures on my phone?!”
Do a favour to you gilrs future husband and teach her now that she cant have everything in this life !
Keep up the great parenting!!
Let's hope the girl doesn't find the phone with all the pictures on the morning of the 25th.
Let's be honest with the kids... you can't have everything.
